About
Locavore Group
Locavore Group is a family of restaurants and bars in Ubud, Bali, championing local Indonesian ingredients, unique experiences and sustainability. Across each of our outlets, we cook and pour with local ingredients, support the farmers and foragers who supply them, and give every outlet its own way of telling that story.
Locavore Started
in 2013
When chefs Eelke Plasmeijer and Ray Adriansyah opened their first restaurant in Ubud, Bali, they pioneered a tasting menu built entirely around Indonesian ingredients, an idea few were attempting at the time, and in 2019 that original Locavore won the Sustainable Restaurant Award at Asia's 50 Best Restaurants.
Since then the group has grown into a family of restaurants and bars, among them the Indonesian restaurant Nusantara, Locavore To Go, the group's own butcher shop Local Parts, the craft cocktail bar Night Rooster, and partnership brands including Suara in Jakarta and Soléa in Sanur, Bali.
Locavore NXT
Locavore NXT opened in late 2023 as the next chapter of the original Locavore. More than a restaurant, it was conceived as a culinary hub inspired by nature, and it now runs on a near zero-waste system, diverting around 98% of what it produces.
Within a year of opening it had been recognised with La Liste's global Ethical & Sustainability Award 2025, and it went on to win the Sustainable Restaurant Award at Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2025. That award has now come to the Locavore team twice, first for the original Locavore in 2019 and again for NXT in 2025.
NXT also holds the highest three-star rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association, and its tasting menus have been recognised by The Best Chef with three knives, Tatler Best Asia Pacific and Indonesia and the Prestige Gourmet Awards among others.
Nusantara
Nusantara is an ethno-culinary portrait of Indonesia, and it is about more than the food alone. The local ingredients, the cooking techniques, the way a dish is served and the rituals around it all belong to the story too.
Our menus travel to particular regions of the country, where some of the oldest recipes and strong culinary inspiration begin. Many of the dishes are lesser-known and very local, rarely found beyond where they come from. Much of that comes from ongoing research, seeking out lost recipes, techniques and dishes that had been forgotten or set aside, and quietly bringing them back to life.
Night Rooster
Night Rooster is a craft cocktail bar of local ingredients and custom house-made concoctions by the alchemists, Raka and Esy. It takes you on a unique personal experience of storytelling. Indonesian folk tales and supernatural stories are woven into the drinks, atmosphere and experience in our intimate creative space.
The bar also highlights a selection of classic drinks with their own unique twists and Eccentric Eats selection to match the mystery in your glass. Expect the unexpected and take your own journey through the night as we stir your imagination.
Locavore To Go
Locavore To Go is a casual offshoot from the Locavore Group family. Using many of their own produce from their adjacent butcher shop, Local Parts, the menu highlights span from damn-fine sandwich, burger and steaks, charcuterie platters and daily changing comfort food.
Ever wanted to pick an item to be cooked from the butcher shop but not have to cook it yourself? Just point at the butcher showcase chiller, take a seat and they will cook it for you.
Local Parts
Whilst Locavore Group supports a balanced approach to eating meat, they do want the best from the meats that they use. It made total sense to help others have that opportunity too, so they opened their own Butcher Shop using only ethical, locally raised and high-quality meats.
Local Parts is also a specialist in charcuterie and has perfected its own interpretation of classics using local meats – along with a large range of pickles, sauces, rubs, and other packaged goods from LabX for you to boost your own home cooking experiences.
